Are you referring to the fact that the installer currently installs
kernel-image-x.y.z rather than a kernel-image-x.y metapackage?  I think it
would be nice to use the metapackage, so that we can provide kernel upgrades
at least within a minor upstream release of the kernel, and possibly even to
provide an even broader metapackage.

"apt-get install kernel-image-2.6-686" should work fine; that package is
part of warty/main (though you will need to download it from the network).
We should consider adding it to the ShipSeed so that it is included on the
CD, since that particular kernel is quite popular.
